Jack S. Futterman Oral History
Part VIII- Assistant Commissioner for Administration
Improving The Grounds & Use of the Facilities
In 1965, as part of the reorganization, I became head of Administration--Assistant Commissioner for Administration. I held this position until I retired in 1973.
Q: Can we talk about some of the initiatives you undertook during that period.
You realize that I was involved in everything in Social Security. Nothing was too small. And the building was important to me. It was important that the community accept the building. Nobody pushed me; this was my idea. Nobody did anything but recognize it after the fact, it was lovely, they loved it. But I wanted to make the people in that area feel that this place was an asset to them, that it was attractive, that it didn't detract from their community, but added to it; it was something they could point to with pride. I always believed, coming up the ranks as I did, that we wanted to make the workplace as attractive a place as we could for the workers, so that they would enjoy it.
So that explains why I got a hold of GSA and impressed upon them how important caring for the grounds was. We had a resident GSA crew, they were cutting the grass, doing that, but the trees were dead, half dead. We set up a crew. I didn't, but as a result of my actions they set up a crew. I had one guy in GSA, a young fellow, I forget his name, can never remember it, that I made a convert of, he was the head. As long as he got the go-ahead from me, he was energized to do these things. A lot of the old-timers probably might not have been, but he was. And so he, on his own, carried out the ideas very thoroughly--decorating the grounds, making sure we had flowers and all that. Well, he entered into it with enthusiasm. And once a year we would have flowers all around; it was beautiful. I'd walk around and I'd see places like, for instance, the place that I think I mentioned between the Annex and the Operations building, and there's a little pool there. There was a fountain, the fountain was dry, no water was running, it was dirty. I said, "Get that fountain going. I want that fountain running 24 hours a day. I want this an oasis. I want benches in here." Then the place between the East Building . . .
Q: And the cafeteria?
"I want canopied umbrellas where people can come out with their lunch and enjoy the outdoors." They didn't like that. There was a lot of resistance from HEW staff, SSA staff. The GSA people, you know, got into the spirit of it. They were as proud as could be with what they were doing. I'll tell you this, I might have been an unknown person, without a program, but when I walked around where they saw me, they said, "that's Jack Futterman, the patron saint of GSA." So it turned GSA around. Their outlook was, they became one of us.
Q: Very popular with the employees too?
Very popular.
Q: A lot of people have commented on that.
Are they still maintaining it?
Q: Oh, sure.
Do they still change the flowers in front?
Q: You bet.
We established that as a precedent. We repaired the trees somehow or other. Everybody was conscious of little places of beauty. Wherever there was an opportunity, we wanted to exploit it. I've only mentioned a few that come to my mind.
Now another consideration to make the building an asset to the neighborhood, and to the community, I went out of my way to make it known that the Social Security facilities were open to the public. Today, of course, it's the opposite for other reasons, but we were open to the citizens of the neighborhood.
Q: Yeah, talk about that.
The old folks used to come into the lobby and sit in the lobby and then they'd go in the cafeteria and get something to eat. I argued that this is a public facility. It was not uncommon in Washington for people to come in off the street and go into Washington government cafeterias. Then after a while, things tightened up a little, we had a fire or whatever, and these old folks needed passes to get in. I ordered that, that is one illustration.
Q: You called that "coffee with SSA," was it the coffee with SSA program?
I didn't call it anything. If they needed a building pass, they got it.
Q: Okay.
But before that, they were welcome, no restrictions; they could go anywhere. They didn't; they just stayed on the ground floor. They wanted to sit, just like they sit now in malls, they were sitting there. When they wanted lunch, they could have lunch, or when they wanted coffee, they could use our facilities. Why not? They were citizens of the U.S.A. and this was their building. That's precisely what I wanted.
It came to my attention that the Army was coming down for maneuvers in one place and going some other place. They wanted to stop and rest at our parking lot over the weekend. I said, "By all means." It gave me the idea that we made this place available for the Colts marching band, and for the Coast Guard. They wanted to give Coast Guard classes about safe navigation and all that. Then we went out of our way to get the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts. I remember myself getting people from our systems to work with the kids, the Cub Scouts, on computer stuff; provide tours. Then sometimes we would go over there to Woodlawn High School. Is that a high school?
Q: Yes.
We would meet with certain small groups that requested us. So it was open house, mi casa, su casa. We tried in every way to use our facilities, within reason, to help the community and to help other government agencies. When I became a member of the interagency group, every agency is represented on it, government agencies in the Baltimore community, I established the principle with them that we're all one government. A lot of small agencies didn't have facilities to do things, like we had printing facilities, we had drafting facilities. I told them we would be glad to take on whatever small job was within our capacity. I mean, we never had any trouble doing it within our capacity, to do what they couldn't get their own offices to do very easily, if they were remote from them. You know, there were a lot of small agencies, islands of government workers, we sort of adopted them. Which was within that framework of seeing ourselves as, not just insular, not just isolated, an island unto ourselves.
This is the same approach I took when I became the first head of the Combined Federal Campaign. Without being asked, without any pressure, I designated Tom Smith, who was the head of our union, to be a head. The whole idea was to get union support for the Combined Federal campaign. Why leave him out? I never heard anybody ask to be brought in. But it's far better to take the initiative. Oh yeah, he'd be delighted to serve. He was very effective. I brought in two, him and another one. That became institutionalized.
I have some reasons why I think, I should at this point, stop talking about things that I did for several reasons. I'll give you the reasons, and then I'll come back to it. One is I do appreciate that these kind of stories help give the flavor of the person and therefore, they are important.
Q: That's right, that's why I like them.
But all flavor, and little substance, results in the conclusion that this was what I was about. These are very small, relatively small and unimportant, although nothing is unimportant. But these were relatively small matters where I think I made contributions largely under wraps because, as you know, I did most of my work behind the scenes.
Of course, I represented the Office of Administration, I was out front on that. But the Office of Administration did not have a meaningful existence except within the context of Social Security. I myself can't remember one-tenth of the things that I did. But as my memory is stimulated a little, I will stumblingly wander through one item after another. But I think that at this point, we ought to get into things of more of substance. Because the historian or the person who later on is looking at these matters, I think ought to get a better mix of them. We can come back, as long as we continue this. And I don't put a date limiting how often you come back.
Buildings Again
Q: We talked earlier about the move to Woodlawn and getting funds for the buildings. What about long-range facilities planning, and what happened after the move?
Long-range facilities planning was really never done, before my involvement. There was a little bit of that done at one point in a very broad, generalized way by Touchet in respect to the district offices, but not in 1969. Well, in 1965 I became Assistant Commissioner, so I was in charge of Administration. Well, I have to say that the projections about district offices were done before because Touchet was no longer here in 1965. It was then that I took his place.
Q: Okay.
You know, we had moved quite a lot and we had originally built for 26 or 27 acres in Woodlawn. Before long, we built the Annex, and then we built the East and West Buildings. We had Disability, and we had to build the Dickinson Building. We knew the growth then was kind of linear. We couldn't predict when the legislation would be enacted, but we knew that there was talk about the SSI program. SSI added the welfare aspect, and there was growth in terms of population growth and coverage growth. Then of course, within the Social Security framework itself, we had other things. We were taking on Black Lung.
There was talk of using Social Security in government-wide record keeping, for taking over all the enumeration stuff for the better part of the government. Whenever they needed that, they would use our centralized record keeping system. Of course, we'd have to enhance it with either more account numbers or other things.
We were a natural research center for the aging population, all kinds of things, like food, and income maintenance needs and what have you. So until close to the present time, this was a growth industry, and I hope someday it will be again. This is part of this background, although it's not directly related to it.
As far back as the 1948 period or thereabouts, I place it there because it was in the Equitable Building, so it might have been 1949 or 1950, I came over there in late 1948, around December, to take over the budget job--as Chief of the Fiscal Management Branch of BOASI, which became SSA. Charlie Erisman, my predecessor there, had been in Washington taking Roy Wynkoop's place in the job that Roy had which was largely budget, but also sort of budget personnel. All the kind of functions I had as Assistant Commissioner in the Office of Management, but in a small way because he worked with the Budget Office of the Welfare Administration, which housed the Children's Bureau--they were all part of SSA. What was the rehab organization--vocational?
Q: I don't remember the exact title.
But there was a rehab organization under Social Security. They were small offices themselves. They had people who handled the budget, but he was the one who went before the Congress. He was the one who gave directions to them, so he handled the Social Security Administration. He was that officer, technically above us. He reported to Brown at one point under the Assistant Secretary for Finance. I gave you the name Bob Brown. I forgot the other guy, but I already gave it to you. So in that setting, I was new to the job, Bob Peddicord, who later became one of my Deputies, was the one who was handling the work plans. We had annual work plans and we had annual work plans meetings. I've talked to you about that.
Q: Going back to the move to Woodlawn. When we acquired this land there were people living on some of it. Were all of the people there willing to move? Did you have people who weren't willing to move?
There were a few people. When I made that provision I thought I was as fair as the government could be. That was my effort to write a provision that wouldn't hurt anybody. Anybody that wanted to move, who was willing to move, because they were getting a good price, or because maybe their neighborhood didn't turn out to their liking, would take the offer and we would be good neighbors. In fact, I had a contract made for people to pick up the refrigerators so we would be a good neighbor. We'd do more than our share. We'd clean up the joint. Cut some of the fields and all of that. I thought, you know, again, this is Futterman being the "good guy." Now I don't deserve credit for that. I mean, that is what I am supposed to do. So I don't deserve any extra credit for it.
Sometimes I met with these people at night. One time they asked for a meeting and I met with them. At the meeting I said, "What is it that you want?" I said, "We are doing everything to protect you." And they said, "Well the problem is that the future of this neighborhood is doomed. It is never going to develop into what it originally was intended to be." It wasn't going to do it anyway, but they were right. I thought about it when I got back to the office. That we did affect them, but as little as we possibly could, but we did affect them in that, by saying you can stay there if you want. Nonetheless we affected them by buying up the rest of the property and they were able to stay where they were, but that wasn't going to be the neighborhood that was planned some 20 years before. So I learned a lesson from that. Even the "do gooders," so called "do gooders," have to think more than simply being self-righteous. You have to think about how the acts affect others.
Q: Now I heard somewhere that for a time SSA was a landlord to some of these people. That they were renting from us. How did they work that out?
Yes! Yes! Well they sold their places to us, but they didn't have a place to go to, and I arranged for this unusual thing. I didn't actually negotiate it with GSA, but when they came to tell me this I said, "Sure, we don't need this space and we would rather have them there to keep the place up, help keep the place up." "So tell GSA," and this was given to people working under me, "tell GSA that sure we would be glad to let them stay on for as long as they need it." We didn't need it, and these were people that have already agreed to sell, until they located someplace else. We didn't care if they stayed on without looking for another place, as a rental. I didn't have anything to do with setting the rental, GSA manages those sort of things and I thought, you know, that they were perfectly competent to do this, but I wanted to set the tone that it was in our interest for them to stay where they were, even though we got the title to it, and be a good landlord. I also said be a good neighbor in terms of helping to clean up this area even though we were not going to move in there for a number of years.
Q: So how long did that go on that we were a landlord to those folks?
I didn't keep track of that, there was no, problem anymore. I addressed only problems you know, but it went on until we got ready to build and then nobody raised any legal fuss or political fuss or said anything about it. But you don't wait for those things to happen, you try to head it off. I think that the thing that really enabled this to go was that provision that allowed us to flow around them. We would never have gotten the appropriation to buy the land that was needed. We couldn't demonstrate it, not next year, but years from now, some period maybe five, maybe ten years. That overcame a lot of difficulty and that made our site complete. We acquired that land, as I say over a hundred acres, is my recollection. The original land was 26 or 27 acres.
In my first contacts, I was sort of low man on the totem pole. The totem pole was: Futterman; the Divisional Control man; then not financial, but the budget man; and then you know, Joe Fay, who represented the mass of people in Baltimore, they regarded the building as Accounting Operations. As a matter of fact in those early days they still continued to think, people who worked in the Division of Accounting Operations, that the whole reason for the Social Security program was to keep the accounting records. They didn't relate to the total. In those days it was called the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance, quite different from the current one or the most recent one, which was the forerunner of the Social Security Administration, less the Children's Bureau, etc.
Roy Touchet was my predecessor in the Office of Administration, but he never expressed to my knowledge any real concern about the total acres. Then we built the Annex and I used the argument then that it is a costly thing and it will interrupt operations to expand vertically. As a matter of fact, if you are going to do that you have to prepare in advance. You have to have foundations that are sized to how tall you are ultimately going to get. You have to have pipes and everything else. So it is not as cheap as one thinks. We are out in the country, this was 1960 or before, and we are out in the country and these are all farms. There was no Security Boulevard. There were no shopping centers. All of that developed once they learned that Social Security was going to be there. And Mr. Knott, of course, exploited the fact that Social Security was going to be there. We had as next door neighbors, we have it now, the Chevrolet place, we had the Kelly Tire place, and the shopping center and bank and the whole area is now built up and the Security Mall is massive and a very close neighbor, motels, etc. I don't mean to say a lot of "trash," but there was a lot of development that took place which one could foresee, and my idea was to expand horizontally. The reason was that the land was still cheap and that gave us a lot more flexibility.
So I think that it was 50 or 60 acres of combined property. We had something well under a 100 for the two, the Main Building and the Annex and then we needed to expand to the East Building, where Health Insurance was at one point, and put in the Supply Building in the back. I forget whether there was a special appropriation for that, I think there was because I remember having trouble with the builder, he was behind schedule, etc. I remember three periods, for the Main Building, a couple of years later for the Annex and then for the East Building and the Supply Building and the last one after I retired, but before that I had done all of the work, preparing the way for acquiring 127 or some such number of acres adjacent. So now we have a campus close to 200 or so acres. It probably should be enough for quite a while.
I think that this made a major contribution to the stability of the Central Office and the Headquarters. You know, we didn't have to move like so many organizations have to move from time to time. We made ourselves a part of the community.
You know, I usually start from something that gives me some of the things I want. I wanted the Social Security Building, we had some opposition, political opposition, but I wanted to make sure that we were good neighbors and as long as I was the head of Administration, my order was, and I would police it, we want to be good neighbors. And the people that worked around the grounds and kept the building supplied and provided the services and contracted with the General Services Administration, etc, knew this was my view.
So we offered our facilities, and it was not just to anybody, we were making sure it was used properly in the public interest. That again goes back to the point that I keep always reiterating, that in doing our job we need to keep uppermost in our mind the purpose that we are all here for. That's where all of our efforts have to be directed. We don't just have possession of this so that we can use our own discretion and appoint this guy or that guy or say yes to this guy but not this. We needed to use it in the welfare and the interest of the people of the United States. That's what the program of Social Security is about.
So even if the Social Security program is not headed in the right direction, then it is wrong. It has to head in the interest of the people of the United States. We can't make Social Security programs something like the Naval Officers Association and others that repeatedly asked me to join because of the benefits, they would give me so much. I am the son of an immigrant, and I guess when I grew up the sons of immigrants were not one hundred percent Americans, they were a hundred and ten. I'm an idealist, I was an idealist then, and I tried to be a practical idealist and do what is accomplishable. It helped me because I had, and this is a term that I use a lot, "a star to steer by." I was Phi Beta Kappa and if I interpret my Latin correctly it was something like a astra asprara, to the stars aspire. I was corrupting that a little, I used the idea that "a star to steer by," a value you want to seek.
So I tried to take up us, and not just in Baltimore. I was responsible for budgeting for the field organization, their District Office buildings and equipment. And I made it a point not to settle for the usual cold floors, marble floors, and this and that, but try to get real carpets and real furniture in the waiting room and making it a comfortable place like any commercial business that is getting public income from the outside. I was an easy target for that, and I'd still be, but I think it pays results. We were not lavish, we spent our money carefully, as I still do today.
Baltimore Headquarters & Relationship to Washington
Q: And the other thing that we talked about, was to just come back and close that loop. The possibility of moving SSA back to Washington at some point?
The people in the Administration, HEW, were not happy in Social Security being away, not under their direct control. I am speaking now only partly out of a little knowledge that I would get from conversations that I was in or with our own upper staff in those days and my contacts. I don't want to be unfair about this, but my impression is that Secretary Hobby and her Assistant Secretaries, or maybe their staffs, who were reaching out for power, wanted not only to be kings of their domain, but actually to be more active in commanding the troops. A strong movement, it could have been partly political, I was not concerned about that, to get that nest in Baltimore under the aegis of the Republicans, and to bring them in and be able to control what is said and done with regard to the Social Security program.
Now without any personal research on my part except experience as a citizen, that was of a piece with the history as I personally interpret it without being a student of it, but as an aware citizen. Social Security was never a favorite program of the Republican party. I think it was sort of a knee jerk thing that they needed to be in control, going back as far as Hobby and of course the early votes about Social Security. So there was this back and forth and then it was defeated. At different levels it was defeated earlier. I mean the idea never really got all that far and then one time it got very, very serious.
We even went through a period where it was announced that we would move, for the second time, and I was under Touchet in the Equitable Building at that time, so that will help place the date. Touchet basically, and his staff, like Warren Belcher, etc., developed a questionnaire about who would be available, who would go and who would not go, and a few other things. I was not active in it, but if they would have asked me then my own view was that those kind of questionnaires are misleading. They get results because people have a stake in the outcome and they want to influence it, and they want to influence it the way they prefer it to go. Although I was one that preferred to remain in the freer climate of Baltimore, I was sure that others at lesser levels, who, like the stenographers and the analysts, etc., who would be asked, would mostly want to stay in Baltimore. And so I always thought the result would be slanted in terms of not giving true information. That there would be more people selecting, saying, they would not go to work, so that they could convince the organization that they had a major problem. But I expected the politicians would overrule that survey and say, "Despite this, do it anyway."
That was not the way it went. One of the Congressmen from Baltimore, and I forget his name, was very, very active in this issue. He made this his issue, I'm sure it was a vote getter par excellence, at least with the Social Security employees. And he was "The Defender" of the employees and he passed, he had an amendment passed, forbidding the move to Washington. Are you familiar with that?
Q: Yes. And this amendment said that we couldn't move Social Security?
No money could be used to make the move, or whatever, or pay the salaries of anybody, I forget, but it was a typical appropriation amendment which he got passed and we called it by his name. And then he got a lot of help, which I think was unfortunate, although I was very sympathetic, I don't approve of workers working against the interest of the organization as determined by the leaders of the organization.
Q: Now did any of the executives in SSA want to go back to Washington or was it a matter that the Department was trying to get us to do it?
Are you talking about the Baltimore executives?
Q: Right.
I think that there were some people that worked with Washington. It was no big deal for them. There were considerations both ways.
I am just hypothetically saying, for them, Bob Ball was always in Washington. For Alvin David, it was not a big deal. They worked with the Department level and they also worked with Congressmen, etc. So in many ways it was attractive for them. Ida Merriam was already in Washington. Parts of the Children's Bureau and the other parts of Social Security were in Washington. They were not considered Social Security in the way that term is used, but they were in the Social Security Act. The rest of us, Accounting Operations, didn't have to be in Washington and they were people who came from all over and settled in and around the Baltimore area and they were happy. Except some people who came from around Washington and there were a few Virginians who traveled that way, but basically 99 percent of Accounting Operations and the others didn't, except maybe those few at the head like Dick Branham or Bartlett. They had settled here and they had a good life here, but I'm sure their connections and their dealings were sometimes fairly solidly with people in Washington. If not for the heads it might have increased their convenience and improved their closeness to colleagues in Social Security and elsewhere. But the staffs? No way! They were pro-staying.
There was beginning to be a political, now this is my interpretation, a political component which I was sorry to see happen in Social Security. Social Security ought to be, in my judgement, it never has been, but it ought to be non-partisan. We ought to agree on goals. I have often used the analogy: If we were commanders of a ship across the Atlantic and one third of the voyage across were under one captain and we were steering due East and then we have a change in administration and we decided to steer due South and then we get another change and we steer due West, we are going to get nowhere. I am talking about changing the fundamental emphasis, the values of the program. The program had to represent a sort of center that both extremes could agree on and that would not be relatively all that changeable. Although I recognize that one couldn't proscribe change and change should not be proscribed, but it should not be expected merely because an administration has changed, that we are going to make major changes in the direction of the program. And it is just crazy to run an outfit that way and I have used the analogy over the years that any business that was run that way would go broke in nothing flat. Any corporation that was run that way with a change of administration they felt that they had a mandate to modify major aspects from no to yes, was crazy. We would get nowhere. No government program can succeed under a system where that is expected to change with each administration, a major change is expected, that's just a formula for anarchy.
Q: So by the time we actually got around to building this headquarters in Woodlawn, this issue about D.C. had been put to bed.
Yes. There was a date we were all asked about our preferences regarding a move. As a diagnostic tool, I think it was more a public relations thing, more of a political thing than having value as a planning tool. Because that kind of a questionnaire needed--if you were going to do a real good job, to analyze your thinking about what employment problems you are going to have-you needed to think about it in a way that classified the people like 98 percent of the leadership, or 98 percent of the administrators, 98 percent or 96 percent of so and so and 100 percent of the clericals, so that you would be able to appraise the problem. To my knowledge that was not a part of it. It was used by both sides. I'm sure Washington was not happy with knowing what that was and as a planning instrument of how many people were going to be replaced. I don't think they went into it in sufficient depth. And as far as I was concerned it had a lack of credibility. Again I say, I personally, by far, preferred to stay where I was, but I didn't like to see the introduction of politics in the way it appeared. But I think it might have been stimulated by a union representative. He might have gone to the Congressman, I'm not familiar with that.
Training Programs
I'll just give you some more examples of the things that we talked about, I'll just touch on them.
The Training Programs that I instituted. And again I make a distinction, there were always training programs. What was new about the training program? For one thing I was dead set against the "crown prince" approach. Another point in that connection which is a part of the principle of my feeling on the "crown prince" approach was that others that were not quite "crown princes," but had the inducement: "at the end of this training program you will get a better job." I was dead set against that, except in beginning programs, where you induce people to come into Social Security and you say, "At the end of this training program you will be qualified for such and such a position." But I am talking about people within the organization. To select them in the Training Program that has at its end, when you finish this you go from a 5 to an 8, and passing over without regard to competition from the 6's and the 7's already there. These other people, who were bypassed, may be more senior, had years of demonstrated dedication to their job etc., but they don't compete, they can't compete. In fact they are discriminated against, because they are older, they don't fit the terms of this early beginning in the program, getting trained and stepping into this desirable position. They were not able to compete. Maybe they came up the hard way from a messenger, as Jim Murray did. Jim Murray became a Regional Commissioner of Atlanta. He came up as a messenger when he first started around 1936. To say that people who came up the hard way are either too old, or lack the education etc., is to undermine the organization. We should not designate somebody for a position in advance. Not only are they getting a fast education, which ought to be in itself enough, but they are promised an end. It is just like these football players, signing up these college players they haven't done a lick of work in their lives and signing up a contract for five years and 100 million dollars, and what is their incentive? It is all sewed up if it's that kind of a contract. What is their incentive to realize their promise? Don't you build a sort of arrogance in them?
That is the one easy way to get ahead in an organization. Take these programs for training and all of that. Make flashy points, impress your supervisors with your smartness. It works to the disadvantage of the guy who does it the old-fashioned way, who may not go as far ultimately, but who is as entitled as anyone is to the next job for which they are best qualified. So another principle that I followed was that training programs should not provide disincentives for all those that were not participants.
Internal Revenue had one program that had wide publicity throughout the government. They had these special training programs which at the end they gave out some very high positions. Amongst trainers that was the thing in fashion. But I just didn't think that it was good, just analytically. It wasn't good for the ones who were participating and it wasn't good for the ones that were not. When you focus your incentives only on a very, very small percentage of the people you have "they" and "us." The organization should always consider itself as "we." We want to keep these young comers, coming. Don't breed them into bad habits that success comes that easily without hard work.

Separating the winners from the losers is a constant challenge for investors. Many focused investors may look to track stock momentum based on historical prices. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqCM:MDGL) currently has a 6 month price index of 3.05995. The six month price index is calculated by dividing the current share price by the share price six months ago. A ratio over one represents an increase in the stock price over the six month time frame. A ratio under one shows that the price has lowered over that defined time period.
Investing in the stock market can sometimes draw intense emotion from individual investors. When the market slips into a chaotic state, some investors may let their emotions get the best of them which can lead to impulsive decisions. On the other side of the coin, market chaos may cause certain investors to freeze in a panic. This may mean that the investor becomes shaken to the point that they are unable to make any decisions let alone an educated one. Discipline is a quality shared by many successful traders and investors. Staying committed to the plan, whether short-term or long-term, can help investors make it through those times of extreme market uncertainty.

As with any strategy, it is important to carefully consider risk and other market factors that might be in play when examining stock volatility levels.
Keeping an eye on the all the day to day happenings in the stock market can be quite a task. Investors may need to try to focus in on the most important information when attempting to examine stocks to add to the portfolio. As earnings reports continue to roll in, investors may be taking a deeper look at some of the names that they have on their shortlist. Investors may also be taking a look at future estimates and guidance provided by companies in order to get a feel of how the stock price may be affected in the future. With the equity market still trading at super high levels, investors may be wondering how much higher some stocks in the portfolio can go. Maybe there are a few winners that look like they have peaked, and investors may have to decide whether to cash in or hold out for more gains. Maybe there are a few losers that have been underperforming and need to be cut loose.
Investors may be looking at the Piotroski F-Score when doing value analysis. The F-Score was developed to help find company stocks that have solid fundamentals, and to separate out weaker companies. Piotroski's F-Score uses nine tests based on company financial statements. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqCM:MDGL) currently has a Piotroski F-Score of 1. One point is given for piece of criteria that is met. Typically, a stock with a high score of 8 or 9 would be seen as strong, and a stock scoring on the lower end between 0 and 2 would be viewed as weaker.
Shifting gears, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqCM:MDGL) has an FCF quality score of -4.756242. The free quality score helps estimate the stability of free cash flow. FCF quality is calculated as the 12 ltm cash flow per share over the average of the cash flow numbers. When reviewing this score, it is generally thought that the lower the ratio, the better. Presently, Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has an FCF score of . The FCF score is determined by merging free cash flow stability with free cash flow growth. In general, a higher FCF score value would represent high free cash flow growth. Monitoring FCF information may help provide some excellent insight on the financial health of a specific company.
Investors might want to take a look at shares of Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqCM:MDGL) from a different angle. Let's take a peek at the current Q.i. (Liquidity) Value. Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has a Q.i. value of 66.00000. This value ranks stocks using EBITDA yield, FCF yield, earnings yield and liquidity ratios. The Q.i. value may help identify companies that are undervalued. A larger value would indicate low turnover and a higher chance of shares being priced incorrectly. A lower value may show larger traded value meaning more sell-side analysts may track the company leading to a lesser chance that shares are priced improperly.
An important idea when dealing with technical analysis is that historical stock price movements tend to repeat. Technical analysis focuses on chart patterns with the goal of analyzing market movements and defining trends. Charting has been around for many years, and even older methods are considered to be relevant due to the nature of repeating patterns. Certain trends may be easier to spot than others. Technical analysts that spend vast amounts of studying charts and patterns may be more adept at spotting specific trends. Investors may want to employ multiple methods of trend spotting in order to get a more robust spectrum with which to work.

Hi all. I'm looking to spruce up this page.
What I want to have is that each image and accompanying caption remain next to each other and don't start getting up on one another's grill. (Scroll to the bottom of that page for an example of the problem I'm talking about)
The way I have it dealt with now is that I just have a shitton of <br>s between the end of one character's text and the beginning of the next character's picture, but there must be a simpler way, because I'd have to redo that every time I update the cast page.
My friends advised me to create a table with one column for the images and one for the text, but since all the images are different sizes it would look kinda wonky. I don't want to resize all the images to be the same because they are taken directly from the comic and some of them are eeeety beety bitty tiny ones and others are relatively gargantuan.
Anyone have any suggestions?

By ADA SEINE KAI, a student in the Writing and Consciousness MFA program at CIIS. She received her MA in East-West Psychology and splits her time between writing poetry and sharing poetry through movement and myth in the yoga sessions she leads. She lives in San Francisco, where she is working on her first book of poems.
This post was written as an assignment for professor Brynn Saito's multi-genre MFA-level writing workshop, WRC 7093. In this class, students produce new fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, while reflecting on their lives, influences, and processes as artists and writers.
I know better than to judge a book by its cover, but I've met some life-changing poems after judging them on their titles. I knew I was going to like Joy Harjo's prose-poem "Grace" the moment my eye caught that word. Grace, so soft and unassuming, is packed with the grating feeling of masculine power-over and divine withholding. I remember too many hell-talks on Sunday to be able to think of grace as meaning much besides: I am doing it all wrong. Other traditions helped me soften to the concept some, but that early imprint—as they tend to do—stuck.
The need for resolution and the promise of emotional depth drew me into the poem. It helped to know that Harjo is of both Western European and Native American descent (Cherokee and Creek). As a young feminist of similarly mixed origin (Shawnee and Irish), I resonate strongly with her indigenous voice and use of natural symbols. The first lines of Grace are bold and elegant. "I think of Wind and her wild ways the year we had nothing to lose and lost it anyway in the cursed country of the fox." She plainly says what she wants to say; there are no contrived line breaks or mechanisms to toy with us.
The whole poem is right there. Harjo unpacks it with a bit of narrative arc, but the meaning is ours for the taking, if we like. It is an invitation, on our terms. These lines define an ambivalent relationship with grace, and they express a complexity between the invisible and visible world that is developed later in the poem. At once there is a heart-breaking depth of pain alongside the lightness of language that perfectly captures the empowered experience of grace. "We had to swallow the town with laughter, so it would go down easy, like honey." It is a tough choice, but it is still their choice.
As a perpetual outsider, Harjo provides insight into how we see ourselves as women from culture to culture. From her poem, "Book of Myths":
There is Helen in every language; in American her name is Marilyn / but in my subversive country, / she is dark earth and round and full of names / dressed in bodies of women / who enter and leave the knife wounds of this terrifyingly / beautiful land; / we call ourselves ripe and pine tree woman.
The sensuality of earth, nature, and roundness provide images that empower women away from the violent and oppressive symbolism of patriarchal systems that might call a beautiful woman, say, a bombshell blonde with killer legs. What does it take to live in that subversive country? It definitely takes bravery to change our word choice and meaning-making systems. And it must also take a little bit of crazy to provide that unique perspective in the first place.
The poems cited here are from the collection of poems "She Rises Like the Sun," edited by Janine Canan. Joy Harjo's memoir, "Crazy Brave" came out this summer. For more on Joy Harjo's music, writings, and poetic adventures visit her blog.

We have plenty to evaluate over the next 48 hours. The Phillies are likely huddling right now, hashing out some of the remaining questions regarding the composition of their 25-man roster. Rosters are not due until Wednesday morning, but we should have a pretty good idea by the time they take the field for their workout. Below is our projected 25-man roster and projected postseason rotation, followed by how we arrived at this conclusion:
The Rotation: Game 1 - LHP Cliff Lee vs. RHP Ubaldo Jimenez; Game 2 - LHP Cole Hamels vs. RHP Aaron Cook; Game 3 -RHP Joe Blanton at RHP Jason Marquis; Game 4 - LHP J.A. Happ at TBA
The Regulars: SS Jimmy Rollins, CF Shane Victorino, 2B Chase Utley, 1B Ryan Howard, LF Raul Ibanez, RF Jayson Werth, 3B Pedro Feliz, C Carlos Ruiz
The Bench: INF Miguel Cairo, UTIL Eric Bruntlett, OF Ben Francisco, C Paul Bako, OF Matt Stairs, INF Greg Dobbs
The Bullpen: RHP Ryan Madson, RHP Brad Lidge, RHP Brett Myers, LHP Scott Eyre, RHP Clay Condrey, RHP Tyler Walker, RHP Pedro Martinez
1. Who will be the odd man out of the rotation?
The likely scenario: We might not be having this conversation if Martinez hadn't strained his neck against the Braves on Sept. 19. He had allowed just four runs on on 18 hits in 21 2/3 innings in his previous three starts. But since Sept. 13, he has started just two games, throwing 56 pitches against the Braves on Sept. 19 and then 84 pitches against the Astros on Sept. 30. While Blanton has struggled in his last two starts, there is no question about his health. I expect Blanton to start Game 3 or 4 in Colorado and Martinez to throw a simulated game tomorrow at the Phillies' work-out, where he will be able to face the team's hitters. Then, I expect the Phillies to have him ready to pitch in a relief role, either in Game 3 or Game 4. I know logic says to split up the lefties, but I'm putting Happ in Game 3
A possible scenario: The Phillies feel Martinez is best suited to start Game 3 or 4, in which case they reverse roles and have Blanton ready to pitch in relief.
Don't count it out: Martinez pitching in relief. The Phillies want Happ in the rotation against the Rockies, who are much better against righties than lefties. I just don't see him being left out of the rotation. But what I can see is Martinez coming in to pitch the eighth inning of a game, even if it is only to face a couple of batters. True, he has suffered most of his damage this season in the first inning. But he is a red light player - when the red light on the camera blinks on, he steps up his game. He is an experienced postseason player. The cream rises to the top in the postseason. Don't be surprised if Martinez winds up pitching in a pivotal relief situation.
2. Who will start game one?
The likely scenario: I'm swimming upstream here, but I see no reason why the Phillies wouldn't give the ball to Cliff Lee in Game 1. Sure, he's had mixed results in his last seven starts, going 2-4 with a 6.13 ERA since putting together a 0.68 ERA in his first five starts as a Phillie. But Lee dominated the Rockies at Citizens Bank Park back on Aug. 6, allowing one run on six hits and striking out nine in seven innings of a 3-1 victory. Furthermore, he is 3-2 with a 2.52 ERA in five starts at home. Most importantly, he is on schedule to pitch Game 1 on five days rest, when he is 32-13 with a 3.50 ERA and .256 BAA in his career (compared with 8-9 with a 4.40 ERA and .260 BAA on six or more days rest, which he would be on for Game 2).
The possible scenario: A lot of people think that because the Phillies limited Cole Hamels to three innings on Saturday, they are trying to turn him around to start Game 1. It makes some sense. After all, Hamels went 3-0 in Game 1's last postseason. Other than that, though, there is no real incentive for the Phillies to rush Hamels back. He'll be on his normal turn, which is when he contends - and statistics prove - he pitches his best, for Game 2. Besides, both Game 1 and Game 2 starters will be available to pitch Game 5 on full rest.
Don't count it out: Charlie Manuel said yesterday that he thinks J.A. Happ has the ability to start one of the first two games. But he could also use another lefty out of the bullpen, particularly in whatever game Joe Blanton or Pedro Martinez pitch. As good as Blanton was this season, going 9-4 with a 2.78 ERA in 21 starts from May 26 to Sept. 22, he has allowed 10 runs in his last two starts and has completed more than six innings in just one of his last six starts. So try this scenario on for size: Happ pitches Game 2 - he would be on three days rest, but threw just 39 pitches Sunday - then is available to pitch out of the bullpen in Game 4 if he is needed. Happ usually throws his side session on the third day after he pitches. If he starts Game 2, his normal side day would be Sunday, which is Game 4. If that is an elimination game, and the Phillies need someone to pitch the seventh and eighth innings after Blanton leaves, you can bet Happ would be able to do it.
3. What options are the Phillies looking at for their roster?
Position locks (13): Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez, Pedro Feliz, Carlos Ruiz, Jayson Werth, Shane Victorino, Matt Stairs, Greg Dobbs, Paul Bako, Eric Bruntlett, Ben Francisco.
Pitching locks (9): Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, J.A. Happ, Joe Blanton, Ryan Madson, Scott Eyre, Brett Myers, Brad Lidge, Pedro Martinez
On the bubble (6): Clay Condrey, Tyler Walker, Chad Durbin, Kyle Kendrick, Antonio Bastardo, Miguel Cairo
So we have six players fighting for three spots. As good as Kendrick has pitched down the stretch, there simply isn't a need for him in a five-game series, particularly with either Blanton or Martinez being available for long relief. So count him out, at least for the first round.
Now, here's a look at the five other players vying for the final three spots:
Chad Durbin, RHP: There might not be a hotter reliever on the team. In his last six outings dating back to Sept. 22, Durbin has thrown seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits, five walks and five strikeouts. Since Sept 1, he has allowed three earned runs in 15 2/3 innings while stranding both of the runners he inherited, although he has walked 11 during that stretch. In the first five months of the season, however, he posted a 5.17 ERA, allowing 103 hits and walks in 54.0 innings. Durbin faced the Rockies twice in April, allowing three runs in one inning on April 10 and no runs in two innings on April 12. Lefties are 25-for-112 (.223) with four home runs and four doubles off of him. Righties are 31-for-142 (.218) with four home runs, eight doubles and one triple. At Coors Field in his career, Durbin has allowed three runs in 3 2/3 innings.
Tyler Walker, RHP: One of the unheralded stars of the bullpen for much of the second half of the season, Walker hit a rough patch in late September, allowing four runs in back-to-back games against the Brewers and Astros without recording an out. But those two outings came at the end of a stretch in which he pitched in seven games in 12 days and warmed up several other times without appearing. In his last two outings of the season, he pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two while walking none. In 32 appearances this seaosn, with a 3.06 ERA, he has walked more than one batter just twice and overall has allowed just nine walks in 35 1/3 innings. Walker pitched one scoreless inning against the Rockies on Aug. 4. Lefties are 11/48 (.229) with one home run and one double off Walker. Righties are hitting .230 against him. Walker has had the most experience at Coors Field thanks to his time with the Giants. He is 3-0 in 18 games, allowing five runs in 18 innings (2.50 ERA).
Clay Condrey, RHP: Condrey has not allowed an earned run since missing close to two months with a strained oblique. In nine outings since his return on Sept. 9, he has allowed two runs on five hits with no walks and three strikeouts in five innings. In fact, if you take away his last two outings before going on the disabled list in late June (he allowed six earned runs while recording just one out), he has a 1.72 ERA in 43 appearances this season. Four of the 12 runners he has inherited during that stretch have scored. Condrey pitched two scoreless innings against the Rockies in two appearances on April 10 and 12. Lefties are hitting 10-for-58 (.172) with one home run and three doubles off of him. Righties are 27-for-101 (.267) with three home runs, one double and one triple. In his career at Coors Field, Condrey has allowed seven runs in seven innings
Antonio Bastardo, LHP: Bastardo is the wild card, particularly since lefthander J.C. Romero is done for the season. The Phillies have just one lefty reliever in Scott Eyre - Jack Taschner and Sergio Escalona are not options. While Bastardo throws hard and had some success in his first two spot starts of the season, he has just one relief appearance since being recalled. Manuel said yesterday he would be uncomfortable throwing an inexperienced pitcher like Bastardo in a big moment in the game. But do they have another option? This is likely one of the biggest debates going on right now.
Miguel Cairo, INF: We laid out Cairo's case for the postseason roster in today's paper. Since the Phillies recalled him in late August, he is 10-for-28 with five runs scored and two RBI. He is 20-for-61 in postseason play. He is also 2-for-3 against Rockies reliever Rafael Betancourt and is 1-for-4 with two walks against lefty specialist Joe Beimel. Because Manuel will have to be creative with his bullpen, which means there could be many pitching changes, he could certainly use an extra bat on the bench, especially since Eric Bruntlett will likely be used in late game situations to replace Raul Ibanez, particularly in the big Coors Field outfield.
4. Who will make the roster?
The likely scenario: There isn't one, although more and more I think Cairo will have a spot on the team. And I think that Bastardo will be left off, simply because in a big spot against a left-handed hitter Manuel would rather call on an experienced righty than an inexperienced lefty. So Cairo is on and Bastardo and Kendrick are off. That leaves Walker, Condrey and Durbin vying for the final two bullpen spots. Walker makes it for several reasons: 1) He has been consistent for most of the season. 2) He has a ton of experience and has performed well at Coors Field. 3) With the exception of Helton, he has good career numbers against Rockies hitters (see numbers below).
This leaves Durbin and Condrey battling for the final spot, and I'm projecting Condrey to make it thanks to his good career numbers against the Rockies, as well as his relative success against Helton.
The possible scenario: Cairo is left off so the Phillies can accomodate Durbin, Condrey and Walker.
Don't count it out: The Phillies keep Bastardo so they have another lefty against the left-handed dominant Rockies.
Rockies hitters vs. Phillies bubble relievers:
Helton (Walker - 3/9, HR, 2 RBI; Durbin 0/0; Condrey 1/7, 2B, 3 RBI)
Stewart (Walker - 0/1; Durbin 0/2; Condrey 0/2)
Smith (Walker - 0/1; Durbin 0/1; Condrey 0/1
Hawpe (Walker - 1/7; Durbin 0/0; Condrey 0/4)
Gonzalez (Walker - 0/2; Durbin 0/0; Condrey 0/0)
Giambi (Walker - 0/1; Durbin - 6/15, 2 HR; Condrey 0/0)
Ianetta (Walker - 0/1; Durbin - 1/3; Condrey 0/4)
Barmes (Walker - 1/6; Durbin - 0/3; Condrey 1/1, 2B)
Tulowitzki (Walker - 0/2; Durbin 0/1; Condrey 0/3)
Atkins (Walker - 2/9; Durbin - 1/4; Condrey 2/4, HR, 2 RBI)
Sillborghs (Walker - 1/1; Durbin 2/2; Condrey 0/1)
Torrealba (Walker - 0/2; Durbin 0/0; Condrey 0/3)

The Lustgarten Foundation has formed a national Pancreatic Cancer Research Consortium (PCRC), representing a unique collaborative effort in the fight against this disease. The Lustgarten Foundation has provided an initial $10 million to launch the PCRC. Over the next several years, The Foundation expects to contribute more than $25 million to the PCRC.
The PCRC is comprised of six world-renowned institutions: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in affiliation with Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Through the sharing of knowledge, information, expertise and technologies, PCRC members will work together to develop and execute a comprehensive long-term research program to find a cure for the disease. The PCRC will operate on the guiding principle that a cooperative approach to science will produce more effective and more efficient research, and will shorten the road to a cure.

Cape May County Zoo

Getaway Guide: One Tank Trip To The Jersey ShorePointing out all the attractions of the Jersey Shore is an exercise in the obvious. A bustling vacation destination since the 1800s, the Jersey Shore attracts millions of families, couples and young singles annually for its spectacular 127 miles of Atlantic Ocean shoreline. It's Atlantic and Cape May counties that really draw in the locals though. Every summer, the Atlantic City Expressway and Garden State Parkway become bottlenecked with Pennsylvanians and New Yorkers heading toward beaches, bays, bars and boardwalks. From Sandy Hook to historic Cape May, "shoobies" go "down the shore" for sand, surf, sun and fun that only the Shore's hotels, casinos, souvenir shops, restaurants, amusement parks and wet entertainment can deliver.

I really love being a Hockey Dad. Since I didn't play hockey as a kid, I relish the experiences of life at the rink as I watch my oldest daughter plays her favourite sport (and mine). There are some crazy hours and early mornings and there can be a lot of driving, but it's all worth it. I don't suppose that makes me different at all from any of the other hockey parents. We all love watching our kids play and are proud to help them do so.
What does make me have a different perspective on watching my kid play hockey is that my 10-year-old hockey playing daughter is a cancer survivor, who lost her kidney to cancer surgery one week after her fifth birthday.
Luckily for us, our daughter fought back and conquered her cancer. Now, our family does what we can to raise money to help the fight against cancer. So when I first learned about Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer, a dawn-to-dusk fundraising event centred on a massive road hockey game, I jumped at the chance to volunteer and fundraise.
When you sit for hours in a hospital, waiting to find out if your child made it through surgery to remove her cancerous kidney, you have a lot of time to think. When you see your kid hooked up to tubes to receive chemotherapy treatments, you get angry and want to fix it. When you see your five-year-old daughter lose all her hair, you realize it's time to fight back.
Five years have now passed. My daughter has long since completed her chemotherapy. Her hair grew back by the following year. And two years ago, after watching the Winter Olympics and being inspired by the Women's hockey team, my daughter decided she wanted to play hockey. I have three girls, so I never really gave much thought to being a hockey dad. Mostly, that's because none of my daughters ever expressed much interest in watching hockey for more than 5 minutes, let alone play it. So when my daughter asked if she could play, of course I said "Yes!" and she is now primed to start her third year in hockey, her second in Atom.
Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer is staging three different events across the country in the fall – September 22nd in Edmonton, September 29th in Toronto, and October 13th in Vancouver. It means that, if you live in one of those three cities, you have plenty of time to start a team and fundraise, or sign up to volunteer. If you're in Vancouver, please click here for more information on how to participate.
If that's not possible, then I have a simple request: please donate. Every single dollar helps.
Funds raised through Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer support the Canadian Cancer Society's mission to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life of Canadians living with cancer. When you make a gift to the Society, your money will help to:
- fund the most promising research projects in the country on all types of cancer
- provide information services and support programs in the community
- advocate for public policies that prevent cancer and help those living with it
My daughter is about to receive her five-year clear. If you don't know someone who has had cancer (unfortunately, chances are you do know someone), a five-year clear is a BIG deal. It means that you have been clear of all signs of cancer for five years. For my daughter and her particular diagnosis, it also means that there is a greater than 98% chance that she will stay cancer-free.
If you aren't in any of those three cities, or you would like to help with a donation, here is my fundraising page where you can donate.

No. 3 UCLA Downs No. 7 Marist, 14-3 in NCAA Tournament Play
May 15, 2010
Courtesy of UCLA Athletics
SAN DIEGO - The No. 3 seed UCLA Bruins women's water polo team (21-8) led the entire match, dominating Marist (18-16) in a 14-3 win in the consolation round of the 2010 NCAA Women's Water Polo Championship at the Aztec Aquaplex in San Diego on Saturday afternoon (May 15).
The Bruins jumped out to a 4-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. UCLA got goals from KK Clark and Sarah Orozco before Grace Reynolds scored back-to-back goals at the 5:00 and 4:25 mark of the opening period. Her second goal was a quick fire on a power play after she had drawn an exclusion on a Marist player.
UCLA goalkeeper Caitlin Dement opened the second period with a save on a penalty shot with 6:20 to go. Then Hannah Sebenaler put the Bruins up 5-0 with a low shot that found the right corner, beating Marist keeper Jessica Getchius with 5:54 left in the first half. Clark scored her second goal of the day to push the lead to 6-0 with 2:32 left in the second quarter when she faked a shot and then fired cross-cage for her 27th goal of the season. Megan Burmeister scored her 16th of the year on a 6-on-5 opportunity off a rebound save with 1:45 remaining in the second to end the scoring for the first half, giving the Bruins a 7-0 lead at the break. Dement ended the first half with four saves while Getchius record six for Marist.
The Bruins pushed the lead to 8-0 in the third quarter on a counter attack on a skip shot from Clark to complete her hat trick with 6:00 minutes to go in the third. Katie Estrada made it 9-0 with her fourth goal of the year with 4:22 left in the third period when she fired a shot off the post and into the corner. UCLA scored on another counter attack by Clark, her fourth of the day, to make it 10-0 with 3:13 to go. Estrada scored her second of the match on a backhanded shot that beat Getchius on her left that gave UCLA an 11-0 lead with 59 ticks left in the third, ending the scoring in the period. Dement left the match at the end of the third period with nine saves.
Junior Morgan Ronimus relieved Dement in the UCLA cage for the fourth quarter. Samantha Swartz beat Ronimus on a penalty shot with 6:08 left in the match to make it 11-1. But the Bruins answered back with a penalty score of their own by Priscilla Orozco with 5:25 remaining to extend the lead to 12-1. Swartz scored her second of the match, this time on a power play with 4:05 to go to make it 12-2. Angie Rampton just squeezed the ball past Ronimus for the second straight goal for Marist to make it 12-3 with 2:52 remaining. Emily Greenwood scored on a catch and shoot for her 17th goal of the season to push the lead to 13-3 with 54 seconds left in the match. Kelsey McGinley ended the scoring with six seconds remaining on a strong side skip shot.
Dement finished with nine saves and Ronimus picked up one in the fourth period while Getchius recorded 11 for Marist.
The Bruins will face the Michigan Wolverines in tomorrow's fifth-place match at 1:35 p.m. at the Aztec Aquaplex.

Remember that the solution to your library's budget challenges does not rest on your shoulders alone. There are people who will be eager to help you: your Friends group, your library board or advisory committee, library lovers and influential individuals in your community. Your job is to ask for their help and use their time wisely. Look at ALA's website for additional resources. A good place to start is The Advocacy Action Plan Workbook, which has a helpful section on team building. To download this document, click this link: [PDF] ALA Office for Library Advocacy - "The Advocacy Action Plan Workbook" (large document download).
Build a "Budget Response Team"
While your community survey is taking place, you should begin building a team of individuals who will help you advocate for your library's budget. This will be your Budget Response Team, and it should be comprised of your library's senior management, selected library trustees/board members, Friends members who would enjoy engaging in advocacy, and anyone else in your community who can help you plan and advocate effectively. Think of them as your "kitchen cabinet." You should recruit this Team for two reasons:
1. Sometimes is really does take a village, and your Budget Response Team can help you think through the possibilities, communicate your library's message and be the public face of advocacy. They can add helpful insight, strategies and networking to your efforts and those of your staff. Their personal involvement also brings deeper understanding and their buy in to your challenge.
2. If you are a city/county/township employee, there may be some awkwardness about taking a public stand against library cuts. It could backfire on you, proving politically unwise if you are perceived as adversarial by your colleagues in other departments. Your Budget Response Team members can be the public face of advocacy for your library, thus saving you from discomfort and the feeling that you are not a team player. After all, it's not your library; it's the citizens' library, and they have every right to advocate for it.
Impact of Reductions
It's critical that your Budget Response Team understand the impact that proposed budget reductions will have on library services and staffing if they're going to be effective library advocates. Therefore, your first job, with the assistance of other library administrators if you have them, is to educate this Team about what things cost and what cutting back really means. Once they understand the impact of possible reductions, they can help you determine how to respond to them.
Scenario and Communications Planning
Scenario planning is essential, particularly in the all-too-frequent situation when a library director or manager knows that there will be budget cuts, but doesn't yet know the level of those cuts.
Your Budget Response Team should assist you with scenario planning and ultimately with advocacy. Scenario planning will require multiple meetings, so be sure to schedule as many meetings as you will need to discuss, envision and plan. At your first meeting, familiarize your Team with the costs of operating your library and examine honestly the environment in which your library exists. How is the library most used? What is its visibility in the community? Does your library promote itself on an ongoing basis? (Note: This is what year-round advocacy is all about, and ALA has online resources to help you do it.)
Your Budget Response Team should assist with scenario planning at all possible budget reduction levels, considering questions such as:
- How will library hours be affected at each possible reduction level?
- What will the impact be on staffing?
- On materials?
- On technology?
- On programming?
- How will circulation be affected?
- What about children and teens after school?
- Where will job seekers go?
- What services and resources are so critical that they must be retained, even at the expense of others?
- What can your community live without?
- What's your goal in order to maintain as many of your critical services as possible?
- Add your own questions to this list.
The purpose of scenario planning is to pre-plan the actions that will take place if/when one of these scenarios is realized. Thinking about these possible outcomes now will help you implement your action plans quickly, without confusion and scrambling, and you will know that the plan you implement has the support of your advisors.
A pre-approved action plan allows your Team to pre-plan for effective communication as well. Know when announcements of possible reduction levels will be made, and have pre-planned communications ready to launch at that time.
Pre-planned communications include information on your library's website and e-mails to your staff, board, Friends groups, and others so they don't hear about proposed library cuts on the evening news.
Roles for Leadership
Your Budget Response Team is an important group of advisors, and you must keep them engaged during these months by offering them well-defined jobs that respect both their talents and their time. Think carefully about:
- Who can organize your advocacy efforts and ensure that your action plan stays on track?
- Who is strong at crafting a message or a slogan?
- Who can speak to groups?
- Who will attend City Council or other meetings of decision makers?
- Who has influence in the media?
- Who is highly recognized and would be willing to write an op-ed piece or even speak on the radio or appear on television?
- Who has the ear of the Mayor or other elected officials?
- What other roles can you add to this list?

For the Buell and MV loyal, Harley-Davidson's latest earnings report should provide all the information as to why the Milwaukee manufacturer had to close and sell those brands respectively. Reporting a nearly 90% loss in annual income, Harley-Davidson earned only $70.6 million in 2009, compared to the $684.2 million Harley earned in 2008, which results in a staggering loss of income for the iconic motorcycle company.
For Q4 of 2009, Harley-Davidson actually operated in the red, and lost $218.7 million in net income by staying in business (Asphalt & Rubber actually made more money during the same time period than Harley-Davidson did, if that puts things into perspective). Additionally, Harley-Davidson is reporting a $147.2 million loss in revenue during its fourth quarter operations. The loss is associated with the reduction in production, and the $167.1 million in restructuring costs incurred because of the closure of the Buell Motorcycle brand.
